Place of Birth: IA MARRIED Scull, Bernard Francis of Washington, DC. 25 Years of age. Place of Birth: NE and the date of marriage is 9 Mar 1940. "SCULL, ELAINE A was born 21 March 1917; received Social Security number 505-03-1513, which corresponds to Nebraska; and died 29 November 2001. " ***************** Think Lt. Gary Scull being held prisoner Harlan News Advertiser June 8, 1970 Lt. Gary Scull, 29, son of Mrs Elaine Scull, Harlan, is still listed as "missing in action" and is presumed to be a prisoner of war, according to his mother. She recently received a second letter from the Army listing details of his disappearance. That letter read as follows: "On 12 March 1970, Gary and his unit were in a defensive position securing KHE-GIO Bridge on route 9 some six miles south of the Demilitarized Zone. At approximately 0100 hours 12 March, their position was attacked by an unknown size enemy force." "At the initiation of the attack Gary was located in the Advisor's bunker which received a direct hit by enemy direct and indirect fire causing it to burst into flames. The ARVN soldiers fought gallantly and gave their lives in fierce hand-to-hand combat while driving the enemy from their position. Following the attack a search was made of Gary's bunker which was burning but partially standing." "Neither Gary nor his military radio were in the bunker. A thorough search at first light was made and individuals within the defensive position were questioned with no posftive results. A helicopter equipped with an aerial loudspeaker system and troops were employed with no success." "A formal investigation at this time (April 19) indicates that Gary is still missing in action." Mrs Scull has mailed this information in a letter to a list of friends of her son, that he had compiled in case something should happen to him, she said. Lt. Scull is a 1958 graduate of Harlan high school and a 1962 graduate of Bethel CDllege in 8t. Paul, Minn. He entered the Army in April, 1968 and left for Vietnam November, 1969. Another Shelby countian, Alan Piittmann, Shelby, is still listed as "missing in action" in Vietnam. He disappeared there in November, 1963. ************************* Mrs. Elaine Scull, whose son Gary was reported missing in action in South Vietnam three years ago, knows only that her son's name was not on the first list released. Even that list of names doesn't "jive" with U.S. reports, as some 56 men listed as POWs by the US aren't listed by the Viet congo In the meantime, hoping and praying continues. Both parents have attended special Air Force and Army briefings and have attempted to gain some word of their sons. but both had no luck. Hope now lies in Li}e announcement that "the return or all captured persons ... shall be completed. within 60 days of the signing of the agreement." Details of the agreement call for transfer of prisoners about every 15 days, beginning on or about Feb. 11, 15 days after the sigring last Saturday. Most released prisoners of war will be flown to selected U.S. hospitals and their parents will be flown to the same hospital to meet them, according to recent reports. Both parents agree, after years of "not knowing, going through hell," they still are waiting - and praying. Mrs Scull added. "We've had a number of false hopes, including the October announcements. I hope and pray that he's a prisoner, and alive." Surviving are his mother, Elaine Scull and a sister, Janice Undem of Lexington, Mass. ***************************************** Tokens: * Could you please link her parents to her page?
